5 Signs You Should Invest in Sport Nutrition Solutions

You are a business owner used to making a little extra profit with the vending machines on your premises. Perhaps your business is either a leisure centre
or a gym. Either way, you are starting to hear a lot about sports nutrition solutions. You're wondering whether or not you need to change your vending
strategy.

Vending has been a big part of the British economy for as long as most of us can remember. But the foods sold in vending machines have not been all
that good. We are used to things like fizzy drinks, crisps, and chocolates. The idea of filling a vending machine with protein bars and energy
drinks just doesn't seem right.

If you are struggling to decide whether or not to convert your current vending machines to more nutritional alternatives, we would like to help. Here
are five signs that suggest you should, indeed, invest in sport nutrition solutions:

1. You've Noticed a Big Drop-Off in Revenue

Vending is ultimately an impulse business. So if you've been experiencing a significant loss of revenues recently, that tells you customers no longer
have the impulse to buy what you're selling. This could be due to a general drop-off in attendance. But if your attendance is stable, something
else is in play. Perhaps it is the fact that your customers are no longer interested in high-sugar, high-calorie snacks.

2. Customers Are Bringing Their Own Snacks

If customers are bringing their own snacks as opposed to previously buying snacks from your machines, that is another sign. Pay attention to what they
are bringing with them. Protein bars and energy drinks would be a good indication that your fizzy drinks and chocolate bars are no longer wanted.
Let's replace them.

3. Customers Are Asking about Healthier Snacks

Another big sign is a trend among customers to ask you about healthier snacks. They may ask if you have an on-site café where they can buy what they
want. They may ask where the closest health-food store is. These kinds of inquiries are a sign that customers want other options.

4. You Run a Fitness-Orientated Business

If your business is orientated toward fitness, that's a big sign you should be offering sport nutrition solutions. If there is any room for vending
machines on your premises, don't even hesitate. Take advantage of the healthy impulse your customers already possess.

5. You Currently Don't Offer Vending Solutions

Finally, a lack of any kind of vending solutions on-site is the biggest sign of all. Vending is a business that works in just about any location. The
key is finding just the right space and stocking just the right products. If you have the space, we have the products your customers want.

The time has never been better for sport nutrition solutions. If you're ready to find out for yourself just how lucrative this business can be, give
us a call. We can get you set up in short order.
